To technomancer,I think you are correct. I don't think you log into Minitube. Furthermore, if someone sends you an email of a YouTube link, when you click on it, by default it will want to open using your default browser. That is why I suggest having Minitube as a backup. I really do try to get YouTube to perform well within a browser, in full screen, on at least 720p HD first. But I keep Minitube as an arrow in the quiver.Most of the time Firefox is just fine for the computers I've helped people with. Then for others, Firefox is fine until you want to go full screen. Then it's choppy. If changing video graphics drivers doesn't help, I try other browsers like Google Chrome and Chromium using the pepperflash plugin. If I'm out of luck on that, Minitube is an option. For my own laptop, Chromium handles full screen YouTube viewing great. But for my older desktop, even with the correct NVIDIA driver selected, I find that Google Chrome is the only browser to allow me full screen, jitter free, video viewing.In the meantime, we can continue to support the projects we use in the hopes that graphics drivers for Linux/Ubuntu will continue to get attention and that HTML5 will free us from choppy YouTube.com video viewing.
rokytnjiI think you are rightThis Samsung NC20 Netbook Specs are perhaps not good enough for modern internet standards.I will give up i thinkThanks for all your efforts.
Do you really mean you tried Chrome OS (Chromixium), or did you try installing the Google Chrome browser via Lite Software?
...But youtube on Firefox or Chromium is choppyI have tried to change swapiness but no luck....
I have also tried Chrome OS (chromixium) have found the same problem.
When directly comparing the SiSoftware Sandra Dhrystone (Integer calcuations) and the Whetstone (Decimal place calculation) benchmarks, one can say that the VIA Nano CPU is somewhat better than the latest Atom CPU (N280 in the Acer One D150). In this performance test, however, the immense performance plus of the Intel Core 2 Duo SU and SL energy-saving processors, both of which operate at a lower speed, but still have access to great reserves of performance, becomes clear.However, the calculation of the number pi, with the help of the benchmark SuperPi, allowed the Atom CPU from Intel to take the lead again. The Atom CPU manages to finish the calculation to 32 million decimal places somewhat faster than the VIA CPU.
